The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#5294) 1.8m I/O Tower</p><p>The #5294 is a I/O expansion tower that can contain up to 90 disk units, has 28 PCI slots and has four removable media bays. </p><p></p><p>Each #5294 is essentially two #5094 PCI Expansion Towers, with side covers and casters removed, placed in a 1.8M rack. Each #5294 counts as two #5094s towards the system model maximums. </p><p></p><p>Two bus adapters, to provide the RIO interfaces to the system, are required with each #5294. </p><p></p><p>The upper and lower enclosures The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#5094s) in a #5294 are not connected internally by a RIO cable. If the #5294 is to be placed in a RIO loop (both upper and lower enclosure on same RIO loop), an RIO-2 cable is required to connect the upper and lower enclosures. </p><p></p><p>Select the appropriate cable based on the length required. </p><p></p><p>Select three or four (any combination) of the following RIO cables, on first #5094 on system, initial order. For additional #5094s or on an MES, select two, three or four (any combination) RIO-2 cables per tower: </p><p></p><p>The following RIO-2 cables can be used with a #5294: </p><p></p><p>#3146 1m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3147 4m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3148 10m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>Select two of the following SPCN cables for each #5294: </p><p></p><p>#6001 2m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6008 6m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6007 15m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6006 3m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6007 15m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6008 6m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6029 30m SPCN Cable </p><p>For each #5294 ordered, a quantity of two #0694The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#5094 Equivalent) specify codes will be added to the order. If a #5294 is to be shared between two systems, one #0694 must be removed from the original ordering system and added to the sharing system, using an RPO(Record Purpose Only) change. </p><p></p><p>Each of the two tower units within a #5294 fully support 45 disk units (no #5108s need be ordered). </p><p></p><p>Dual line cord capability is available for the #5294 with feature #5116. With a #5116 installed, both tower units of a #5294 will have dual line cord capability. Two additional line cords (for a total of four) must be ordered when a #5116 is installed. Plugging in the second line cord from the upper and lower units, even if to the same outlet, enables each unit's AC power modules to be redundant. For the best power protection, the first and second line cords should be attached to different power sources. </p><p></p><p>The following line cords are supported on a #5294 (two line cord features required): </p><p></p><p>#1399 - 4.3m 300V/16A </p><p>#1406 - 200V 16A 14-Ft TL Line Cord </p><p>#6455 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd Italy </p><p>#1409 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd AU/NZ </p><p>#1418 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd S Afric </p><p>#1419 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd Israel </p><p>#1420 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd EU/Asia </p><p>#1421 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd CH/DK </p><p>#1451 - 200V 6-Ft Line Cord </p><p>#1452 - 200V 14-Ft Line Cord </p><p>#1453 - 200V 6-Ft Locking Line Cord </p><p>#1454 - 200V 12A 14-Ft TL Line Cord </p><p>#1455 - 200V 6-Ft Wtrtght Line Cord </p><p>#1456 - 200V 14-Ft Wtrtght Line Cord </p><p>#1476 - 4.3m 200V/12A Pwr Cd UK </p><p>The 45 disk unit positions in each unit of a #5294, are in groups of 15, each group of 15 disk units is further divided into three groups of five disk units, each group of five disk units supported on a separate SCSI (LVD-SCSI) bus from a PCI Disk Unit Controller. </p><p></p><p>The two removable media bays of each unit within a #5294 are supported by the same PCI Disk Unit Controller that supports disk unit positions D31 thru D35) of each internal tower unit. </p><p></p><p>Attributes provided: 28 PCI slots, 90 disk unit positions, fourremovable media bays </p><p>Attributes required: RIO connections, two to four wall electrical outlets, at least one #0694 on the inventory records </p><p>For 8203-E4A: The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#5294) </p><p>Minimum required: 0 </p><p>Maximum allowed: 12(Initial order maximum: 0) </p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later. </p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Supported </p><p>CSU: Yes </p><p>Return parts MES: Does not apply </p><p>
